I just got the Directv home cinema package and my new plasma comes in this week. But my Verizon router has slow download speeds (as I mentioned here last week.) Week after week at home I've been struggling with a paltry download score of .94 - 1.01 mbps according to www.speedtest.net. The other night I got a breathtaking score of 20.71. When I checked the speedtest log, I noticed that the very low scores I've been getting come from "Wi-Fi" but the 20.71 mbps comes from "cellular." What does this mean and how can I utilize a cellular signal source at no extra expense?

wow, sad that you get better download speeds from your cellular company and not your home internet service provider. Unless you have TRULY UNLIMITED downloads from your cellphone company, there is not much you can (with DirecTV) do with those awesome speeds.

Just spent several hours trying to log on to the internet with my directv using an Actiontec router. I could not. the Model GT784WNV, spoke with 4 tec at verizon; tried several different things. None of which worked. re installed my old Westell and so far all is well. please let me know if your Actiontec works with Directv.

Wow, Verizon should be ashamed of calling that service "high speed" because is anything but. If you have DSL, any common router should work with your service. but there is no router that will improve your speeds.

There was a complaint/lawsuit against Verizon in Dallas for false advertised DSL speeds. I know you have the bundle for now, but when you get the chance, jump internet ship to the local cable co or Clear.com.

Good luck!

disagree. there was a study made last year made by a government agency, and Verizon came on top with providing closest to the advertised speeds. as we saw from the last post from the OP, it was a defective junction box
